Abstract
When chronically exposed to an approach-avoidance conflict, rats with a genetic susceptibility to hypertension showed persisten elevations in systolic blood pressure, but rats with a genetic resistance to hypertension did not. Hence, psychic stress is selectively efficacious in producing hypertensive effects depending on genetic predisposition of the animal.
